The Octopus

CHAPTER V
14/125

Oh, you can look into the tiniest corners, everywhere, you won't find so much as the littlest speck of dirt or grease.

I love CLEAN things, and this room is my own particular place.

Here I can do just as I please, and that is, to keep the cement floor, and the vats, and the churns and the separators, and especially the cans and coppers, clean; clean, and to see that the milk is pure, oh, so that a little baby could drink it; and to have the air always sweet, and the sun--oh, lots and lots of sun, morning, noon and afternoon, so that everything shines.

You know, I never see the sun set that it don't make me a little sad; yes, always, just a little.

Isn't it funny?
I should want it to be day all the time.
